Thank you for sharing Ursula K. Le Guin's writing wisdom. I also enjoy sharing her writing schedule with students in my uni environmental-science writing class, which hopefully inspires them to find their own writing schedules, & let them know that stupidity can be (or often is) a part of it.

Screenshot of Ursula K. Le Guin's self-professed writing schedule, excerpted from a 1988 interview with her:

5:30 a.m. - wake up and lie there and think.
6:15 a.m. - get up and eat breakfast (lots).
7.15 a.m. - get to work writing, writing, writing.
Noon - lunch.
1:00-3:00 p.m. - reading, music.
3:00-5:00 p.m. correspondence, maybe house cleaning.
5:00-8:00 p.m. make dinner and eat it.
After 8:00 p.m. - I tend to be very stupid and we won't talk about this.
